-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before Euro 2012, we'll be playing (and spending) our own euros at our own European Tournament, which is taking place in Blankenberge in Belgium from 18th to 20th May.

The tournament features 8 teams (Belgium, England, France, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Spain, Switzerland) and is played over two days (2 groups of 4 then semi-finals or play-offs then final).

We will be taking up to 15 players and as many supporters/family/friends as we can. For the new players amongst us, this is a fantastic tournament that's been going since 1993 and that we've won twice (1994 and 2009). In 2011 we were runners-up to Hungary at Bisham Abbey.

The total cost (excluding travel) is 250 euros (£209 as at 31 Dec) if staying 3 nights (Thursday, Friday, Saturday) or 220 euros (£185 as at 31 Dec) if staying 2 nights (Friday to Sunday)

If staying for 3 nights, the cost includes hotel accommodation, 3 breakfasts, 2 lunches, dinner on Friday night, gala dinner and entertainment on Saturday night + all your football (3 refs, usually great pitches)

If staying for 2 nights, the costs includes hotel accommodation, 2 breakfasts, 2 lunches, dinner on Friday night, gala dinner and entertainment on Saturday night + all your football (3 refs, usually great pitches)

As regards travel, most of us will be travelling by car/ferry so we can share the costs.
